Bench Racing | Salt Lake City Supercross Night Show

Any ideas what we can do next weekend🤷

Yeah - you have one chance to make an impression on your first SX championship and those are the words you choose. 

Lol accurate 

Webb giving respectful interview 

Webb is 8 years older than him and said his arms are as hard as morning wood on the podium a few weeks ago. Maybe being OK with all of this stuff will bring out more personality in these riders instead of them being trained robots on the podium and just thanking their sponsors. 

It’s Vital, we will find something stupid  to argue about😀

They only count the best finishes by each manufacturer….not all finishes. 

Chase said he tried second for the first time, in think in reference to the start.  If not second, what gear was he using?  

And Jason was faster than Hunter so no, I don’t think we missed out on much. 

He'll make up for it in the speeches for the next 5-6 titles he wins

Yeah dumb, count all the bikes in the mains. Kawi would most likely win with the contingency they offer

The same thing we do every weekend Pinky;

TRY AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! 

Perhaps 2nd for the first time tonight. I think a lot of guys were on the fence tonight on starting in first or second, they made a point of it on the broadcast or RDL.

Burn out time? 
 

Someone get Matthes over to the Honda rig ASAP!!  

On the night, they're at altitude....

Cool thanks!  First on a 450 seems crazy.  I used to start in 3rd back in the 500 days to save the shift and hook up. Just goes to show the skills these guys have. 

Ouch. That didn't age well. 

Ride?

How come he can’t pass him clean then?

Or how about catch up on everything you put off to watch TV the past 17 Saturdays?

Ride and…also…testing for the outdoor season on my vital posting skills on telling the best riders in the world what they should do different.  Got to be ready …there is some serious couch competition here on vital.

Ando loves to push every one around and the moment someone has enough of his antics and puts him in his place.. he sooks.

Remember the Barcia incident? I don’t remember that happening again once he got put in his place by someone being a lap down. 
 

Bogle took Barcia out when he was a lap down then rode away while pulling a tearoff.

I’ll be upfront and say I’m Hunter fan, so I’m biased, so firstly I’ll stick to the facts as they happened:

Ando has been the aggressor in the previous incidents between the two and has come out on top.
This race; Ando again took Hunter to the edge of the track at the end of lap 1(?) to make a pass. Hunter then came back and passed him cleanly without any contact. Then Ando cleans Hunter out, even though he didn’t need to, as he had the pass made. That’s what happened with no judgments made on my part 

Now it appeared (to me) that when Hunter took Ando to the edge of the track when being lapped, it was a message that he wasn’t going to be bullied by Ando.

What I’d like to know is the back story and why Ando has an issue with Hunter? I know Ando’s an aggressive rider and that’s great to watch. But why does it seem he goes out of his way to target Hunter? Was it the Jett thing? Was it something else? We need some moto media to do some digging here.

If there’s a real rivalry, as there appears to be, we need the back story. It’s not like they’re competing against each other for race wins ala Stew vs Reedy.

Ando is just a knob, he has issues with anyone who he considers is stealing his shine. Weather it be Baggett, Mookie or now Hunter 

Don’t worry Anderson days are numbered. He’ll be hitting vet Mx very soon. Meanwhile The Lawrence’s, and Cooper were top ten in rookies this year. 3/10 not bad. RJ next year, 

😂 his track record is certainly not a very good defence. But I’m trying to give him the benefit of the doubt here!
